2016 World Championship discussion

Why is the referee calling him Anda when his surname is Zhang? When Ding (surname) plays he's called Ding. They had it all wrong during the qualifiers and now it's continuing.

I've just been browsing the livescores. Well done Holt.
I'll watch the match now.

Yes, very well played Michael, I kind of hope he can keep it up, but he's playing MJW next and I'd love him to have a good run as well. :indecisiveness:

Well done Holt. A sad day to be Robertson fan. It´s a shame that Murphy, Bingham and Robertson are already out before the real fun starts, but if you want to be world champion, you got to beat the ones placed in front of you.

[itsnoteasy]

Another one bites the dust.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

so now selby and higgins out in the next round and all my "hating" players will be out.

No I don't think so. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the cause, as it were, but he's just going to put people off if he goes on about it all the time.

He should do what Rafel Nadal's done and put his money where his mouth is and open a Vegan restaurant instead.

He is much more entertaining as a commentator than as a player!

[PatBlock]

Random mid-sesh thought.... Is anyone else getting fed up with Peter Ebdon evangelising about the Vegan thing? I don't think a day has passed where I haven't heard him mention it either in conversation, commentary or in some of the pre-recorded stuff. It's almost as if he gets paid every time he mentions it or something! I mean Robbo is a Vegan but you never hear him go on about it in the same way.

Am I being too harsh?

No I don't think so. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the cause, as it were, but he's just going to put people off if he goes on about it all the time.

lol - yeah yeah - c'mon holty hold it together, he has played far too well to lose this match.

This is where Holt's temperament might defeat him. He really shouldn't lose but especially after that last frame I can see him losing the plot a bit and going off the boil.

I put a cheeky fiver on a while ago when Robbo was 8-1 (probably went better than that at one point), just had a feeling he would come back and I still think he might.

I cant see Robertson pulling this back.Will be a shame if a player of his ability exits so early.Especially when a player like Walden has scraped into the 2nd round.

Anyone else notice it is being reffed by Michael Stipe from REM ?

No . It's getting boring now .
